Kent Round Boys U.13 Mini Hockey Tournament : Sunday 11th March at Sevenoaks HC.
Marden travelled to Sevenoaks on a wonderful sunny day with an 8 strong squad , mainly composed of U.12's, determined to succeed and play some good hockey .The team got off to a good start with a 1-0 win against Anchorians , followed by a strong win , 3-0 against Herne Bay. The hockey flowed, shots were fired in , with our defence having little to do. The next game against stronger opposition , Langley Park 2, was closely fought , unlucky to lose 1-2, and all rested on the last game against Canterbury 2 . This game could have gone either way, but Canterbury came out on top 2-0. All the players stuck to the task, and with a young side, we achieved as much as we could have hoped for against some strong opposition .
Squad: Rob Wickham, Rory St.John, Mason Thompson, Tom Moore, Sam Dooley, Freddie Dakin, Callum Barclay, Thomas Richards (GK),
Results : Played 4 , Won 2, Lost 2 F5 A 4 Goal Scorers : Rob Wickham 2, Mason Thompson 2, Sam Dooley 1.
U14 Girls - coached by Clive Baxter . Entered in Kent league. More details to follow.
